The Clippers officially announced the promotion of Lawrence Frank to Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations on Thursday.

"Lawrence is driven, dedicated and committed to the Clippers and has enjoyed success in the game in so many different capacities," Doc Rivers said. "He has a great basketball mind, and while we will miss his expertise on the bench, our organization will benefit from his energy, skills and leadership in the Basketball Operations Department."

The Clippers have reached an agreement with assistant coach Lawrence Frank on a promotion to executive vice president of basketball operations.

He's shifting to the front office and will still report to Doc Rivers. The Clippers still have general manager Dave Wohl, but Frank should have a big say in personnel decisions. Wed, Jun 29, 2016 03:20:00 PM

Lawrence Frank will reportedly be moved from the bench to a high-ranking front office role with the Clippers.

Frank will be promoted to his front office role to assist president of basketball operations Doc Rivers with some of his decision-making responsibilities. Frank has previously held head coaching positions with the Nets and Pistons, but this will be his first stint serving in a prominent front office role. Sun, Jun 12, 2016 03:29:00 PM

The Nets reached a buyout agreement with assistant coach Lawrence Frank and he joined Doc Rivers' staff in Los Angeles.

He was the highest-paid assistant coach in NBA history last year to help out Jason Kidd, but that didn't work out very well for the Nets. Frank served as an assistant under Rivers in Boston and he also has some head-coaching experience. Sat, Sep 27, 2014 10:13:00 AM

Patrick Beverley (knee surgery) hinted that there's a chance he'll be able to return to the court at some point this season.

"I'm not a doctor, but there's a chance," said Beverley when asked about a possible return this season. We'd take these comments with an enormous grain of salt and highlight the whole "I'm not a doctor" part of his statement. Beverley underwent both microfracture and arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, which is nothing to shrug at, so it would be quite shocking to see him back on the court this season. For what it's worth, he said he'd start traveling with the team in February.

Avery Bradley (athletic pubalgia) is officially questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Warriors.

Bradley's injury is usually lumped into the catch-all phrase 'sports hernia', but specifically refers to "the disruption and/or separation of the more medial common aponeurosis from the pubis, usually with some degree of adductor tendon pathology." Clippers coach Doc Rivers suggested that Bradley's status for each game will be a toss-up depending upon how he feels, and this should be the last straw for most fantasy owners. Whenever he does miss games, Austin Rivers and Lou Williams should be ready to pick up the slack.
